Newport Heights is a 2-tract suburb of Newport, OR and houses 5,414 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.1/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Newport rate of 28.2%.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. 19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.7 to 6.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.2/10. Filings are well documented here: 175 across 2 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 4.5% of renter households. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.
At $1,366 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Newport commands. The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. The closest comparables inside the same city are South Beach and Holiday Beach.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $66,876.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
